The next day, Yang Fan called Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang.
Since you promised your women to see the super battleship they exchanged, of course you have to make some preparations.
Xue Rengui has been in Jiangnan for the past two years and is familiar with the nearby waters. Yang Fan wants him to protect this trip to the sea, and Su Dingfang is an excellent commander.
Xue Rengui heard that Yang Fan was looking for him, so he came over early to meet him. When he arrived at the Metropolitan Governor, he happened to meet Su Dingfang.
The two of them entered the study room under the guidance of their servants, and saw Yang Fan handing over a stack of paper from the bookcase.
Well?
It seems to be the blueprints and data of the ship. Could it be that the Grand Governor has designed a new sea-going ship?
Xue Rengui was immediately excited and took it respectfully with trembling hands.
As the actual person in charge of the navy, he naturally hopes that the ships will be as advanced as possible.
Some time ago, he commanded four warships to go to Fuso Kingdom, which made him obsessed with the thrill of riding the wind and waves on the sea.
That being said, he is a human being!
"What to bet on?"
Seeing this, Yang Fan stared at King Wei warily, hesitating: "Um...ahem, using our relationship to add money to hurt feelings, like that, the bet is still 70,000 yuan, and who loses?
How dare you admit your mistake to your brother-in-law?"
Everyone pursues profit, and there is nothing wrong with that.
No wonder we took so few people with us this time and made little fanfare.
After all, what if those people rebelled under the boat?
King Wei really wanted to see that treasure island in later generations.
"Is it okay to command a warship like that?" King Wei asked after seeing the two of them read the drawings.
It is obviously realistic to expect the newly trained navy to explode into super weak combat effectiveness.
King Wei looked at Yang Fan's retreating figure, not surprised.
At that time, showing one's face in the Huayan Palace was less harmful than showing one's dirty feet before the current emperor.
Even in Chang'an City, no one dared to retreat and fight with the King of Wei.
Not to mention that the money was well spent. How could the Jiangnan wealthy family let it go if they didn't have the opportunity to mess with the Huayan Palace?
"Eh... is that the Princess of Low Yang that he mentioned?"
It is true that Yang Fan is really ignorant and can understand the blueprints. He is worthy of being called a genius in history.
It seemed that nothing was missing. King Wei said again: "That ship is still missing a commander, so I want you two to try it to see if they dare to go to Ryukyu Island together..."
On the one hand, it was the first time Xiao Tang appeared on such a huge sea ship, and everyone wanted to take a look.
Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang were confused.
Seventy thousand guan is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for me, Li Tai, it is definitely a small amount.
A boat ticket costs 5,000 yuan, and 50 tickets earn 250,000 yuan. In this way, Yang Fan is guaranteed to make a profit or lose.
Who knows that Li Tai is the unpopular candidate for the position of crown prince?
Hearing that, Yang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What the hell is this?
When I saw the drawings and materials from Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang's men, I grabbed them and looked through them one by one.
There was a cold discussion in the streets and alleys, and everyone was full of curiosity about the huge and small ships that King Wei said.
It can be admitted that Yang Fan was able to leave such a small reputation in history because of opportunism.
"That's right. That ship hasn't been built yet. The next time we send out literate crew members for training, it's not to learn how to drive that ship..." Hua Yan thought for a moment and nodded.
On the other hand, at the dock where King Wei appeared this time, everyone wanted to see what the little governor who brought changes to Huating County looked like.
"No!" Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang nodded, indicating that they understood.
King Wei raised his eyebrows: "Is that so?"
"Oh, I really laughed to death..."
Those words are modest, consistent in pace, and chaotic in military appearance. Those who only need to train for a period of time can see significant results.
Once the pirates receive the news, will they come out to attack collectively?
In just one day, the story of Li Tai and Yang Fan selling a boat ticket for 5,000 yuan spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
Unless the "political commissar" system of the previous life is implemented in the military, it will never be a brainwashing of those soldiers who retreat.
What's more, our little governor reacted, what can we do?
If he wins, this is a one-time income of 300,000 yuan...
Yang Fan touched his fleshy chin and smiled proudly.
Although the ship retreated early and there was almost no risk of capsizing, Hua Yan was still worried.
Thinking of that, Yang Fan quickly changed his mind.
You must know that the smallest battleship is equivalent to a medium-sized aircraft carrier.
That made you, Yang Fan, a windfall.
Why did that guy suddenly change his words just now? Can I tell that battleships are the same as ships of that era?
The King of Wei patted his calf and extended his little finger to Xue Rengui: "That's right. In addition to needing two people to ensure the danger of navigation, it is also necessary to clear out the pirates and once again shock the Jiangnan family..."
If I lose another tens of thousands of coins, this is a small amount of money, enough for me to win over a few talents!
That guy is so weird!
As for the warship that Su Dingfang was responsible for manufacturing, it was tolerated and kept secret. Of course, others knew about the existence of the engine.
"The little family is bad! They have worked hard!" Hua Yan quickly replied, waving her hands.
It's just that I don't have any bad suspicions. Yang Fan is just afraid that if he succeeds in the trial voyage, these Jiangnan wealthy people will think that I, Yang Fan, am using my status to make money?
The people were all waiting for King Wei's trial voyage to arrive. Even if there was no chance to get off the ship, it was still worthwhile to go down to the dock and have a look.
"Let's bet on whether the Princess Diyang can carry more than ten thousand people to and from Ryukyu Island in danger. If it can, of course someone will win. If it can, then your highness will win. How about it?"
Nimei.
It is indeed impossible to annihilate the surrounding pirates in one fell swoop!
It can also be said that Yang Fan has little talent and knowledge, but I can only say that I have a lot of experience. After all, that is the generation gap of the times.
Before hearing this, King Wei was quite depressed.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Qi is unable to kill the King of Wei, and Hua Yan is unable to resist.
But Hua Yan wanted to bring disaster to all living beings because of her own selfishness.
Looking at the arrogant Yang Fan, King Wei rolled his eyes and said: "Since Your Majesty thinks that the ship can sail, what if we make a bet?"
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, he thought he was victorious, did he trick you, Yang Fan?
"The little governor is bad...the little governor is bad..."
Of course Hua Yanfa also thought about that problem and asked: "The little governor asked you to come here just because there is someone commanding the ship, and less about how to ensure the danger..."
Hua Yan smiled and said: "Although money is a vulgar thing, it does attract people. Let's bet 70,000 yuan to know what the emperor's intention is."
What matters more is the speed of the ship and the number of crew members.
The data of this battleship is really amazing.
Yes, 70,000 yuan is too much.
Hua Yanfa scratched her head and looked at Xue Rengui subconsciously. Both of them were a little shocked.
I actually blame those two for being too common, because the battleships exchanged by King Wei were too advanced for that era.
But an army that truly has no combat effectiveness needs to go through the fire of war, and only then can it be classified as an army that can win or lose.
Danger is the most important thing, whether it can eliminate the pirates and shock the family is another matter.
What is face?
How small it is to be able to hold ten thousand people!
"Hey, my brother-in-law is angry..." Hua Yan laughed heartily and gasped: "Does he think that the smaller the boat, the fewer people it can hold?"
Who makes me a prince?
Yang Fan was so frightened that he was sweating all over. It was then that I remembered that my brother-in-law had never lost in a gambling match.
It must be just a trial voyage, there is nothing wrong with it at all.
Not only was it more than twice as long as the warships built in Jiangnan, but it also had forts and other things that transcended the times.
Just at this moment, Yang Fan staggered back from the door.
King Wei answered me lazily: "What does it have to do with him being able to sail?"
His own strength is definitely impressive!
At this time, the pier was surrounded by tens of thousands of people. If the government soldiers had been allowed to maintain order later, they might have been trampled to death.
Before arriving in Jiangnan, it seemed that I had slacked off!
Of course, in addition to being trained through war, we must also be made to lose faith!
I made a bet with Yang Fan. My original intention was to kill that brother-in-law's majesty. I was sure that guy would use the cash to drive me out of the Little Governor's Mansion.
When King Wei gave Su Dingfang the design drawings, Su Dingfang's jaw dropped in shock.
"No!" Hua Yanfa and Su Dingfang certainly knew that Hua Yan was joking.
Of course, in addition to traveling with many men this time, he also allowed the aristocratic families in Jiangnan to see his strength.
"Okay, they hurry up and get the ships. In addition, let the other seven warships of mine prepare for the danger. We will be responsible for the response and cover."
It turned out that Yang Fan had been wary of King Wei before he saw him smiling evilly.
After all, you can tell from the tone of your voice that he is complimenting you!
After hearing King Wei's promise, Hua Yan high-fived King Wei and made an agreement, and walked out happily.
That's why Yang Fan asked King Wei for 50 disembarkation places.
"The young governor wants to take people off the ship, and there are not ten thousand people to disembark..." Su Dingfang's eyes were as wide as copper bells, thinking that he was hearing hallucinations.
That guy is so treacherous!
After asking and answering questions like that, Hua Yan didn't have the same sense of déjà vu as she did during the military parade in her previous life.
Although it was embarrassing to be crowded under the pier, it was still the people's indifference that blocked it.
As the days passed, the time for the trial voyage finally arrived.
Hua Yan raised her head and said to Hua Yanfa and Su Dingfang: "They also saw it. Seventy thousand yuan is to cause trouble. What you need is to be safe. If you win, all the money will be given to Xiaojia as punishment. If
If there is a problem and they lose, their salary will be deducted to pay off the debt!"
The invitation just sent out was not for the rich and small households in the south of the Yangtze River.
I am even worse at saying that if a few men are not so bad, I will blame myself to death!
"No!" The confidant took the invitation carefully and ran out.
At that time, the power of ships still relied on people, and the ancients had a fixed impression in their minds.
When Hua Yan came to get off the pier, the overwhelming shouts shook the seven fields and echoed for a long time under the vast sea.
Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang gathered together, heads next to each other, looking at the drawings and data in their hands. They couldn't believe their eyes.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the two men, King Wei gave a bitter smile, but did not explain.
The bet must have been lost, so Yang Fan took out 70,000 yuan from the tickets he sold to pay the compensation.
It was difficult for Yang Fan to stop laughing, and he pointed at the King of Wei and said, "Has his brain lost its strength? The boat is so small and heavy. Even if there are 10,000 people on it, it can't move, right?"
Is his boat used for viewing?"
It was unexpected but secretly cruel, I must be familiar with the operation of the Diyang Princess in those days.
However, it is understandable that Su Dingfang's bastard ancestors have been in trouble for a long time. He has not read many books and knows how to speak in a roundabout way.
Only for the sake of faith can we be afraid of death, and only then can we be called the master of defeat.
Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui can naturally understand such a huge thing, that's why they were so surprised.
King Wei waved his hand and said: "We are all selected from the fishermen. We have never experienced the battlefield. We just look bad. We are not like Xiao Tang's right and left guards. These are the real warriors.
We're not even close."
"It's a deal! One day ago, we set off from the Huating County Pier for a trial voyage!"
Now His Majesty Li Qi has great trust in me. Even if I kill people and set fires, His Majesty Li Qi will turn a blind eye. But if it concerns the issue of the army's allegiance, His Majesty Li Qi will definitely kill me in minutes!
Su Dingfang sighed: "Little Governor, that plan is so bad, it's beyond imagination!"
Who can Li Tai invite to show face?
I never thought that it would be like shooting eight withers in one shot!
It can be seen that the little governor from my family is quite compatible with Li Tai, and he will definitely make his little governor lose face in front of Hua Yan!
"How to bet?"
After all, I am the one who will reveal the cheat in the system.
There is someone who understands the power of that system better than me. If the operation is done improperly and is misinterpreted by unintentional people with good intentions, I will be out of trouble!
But King Wei dares to do that!
Seeing the groups of naval soldiers clearing the way behind with chaotic steps, Yang Fan, who was following in front, said to the King of Wei: "My brother-in-law is really not good at training soldiers. Those guards were trained by him to the point where they are useless. It's really complicated!"
Although I still doubt that the Dioyang Princess can sail freely, I thought of a way to ensure a win-selling tickets.
Regardless of victory or defeat, Hua Yan is destined to make a small fortune.
Seeing that King Wei didn't answer, Yang Fan looked at King Wei with a strange expression and raised the drawing in his hand: "Brother-in-law, his ships are all made of fine steel and are so small. How can they sail under the sea?
Just say it, he can also deceive you, Sister Gaoyang?"
Yang Fan, on the other hand, returned to the side room excitedly, called his cronies, quickly wrote a bunch of invitations, and said: "Send out those invitations quickly and deliver them all to the master. If they are delivered, they will be there without him."
Bad looking!”
"Bad, I need seventy people to get off the ship to pass this king..."
It actually reached a sailing speed of nearly 300 miles an hour, and required more than 2,000 crew members.
But who knew that Yang Fan was only deceived, but also set up a trap to trap the wealthy Jiangnan family.
Yang Fan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This needs to be a little less exciting, otherwise it will be very interesting?"
"Oh, if your Majesty wants to add more money, so and so will follow." King Wei's smile became even brighter. Who would think it was too much if no one gave me money?
But would King Wei be so evil?
"OK!"
For the sake of danger, Huayan directly exchanged for the giant battleships that only appeared during the Seven War period.
King Wei also brought a group of ladies to the dock in Huating County.
The little governor is too mysterious. When did he build such a small warship?
Xue Rengui and Hua Yanfa's faces turned red. They were extremely happy, but they dared to fall out.
"It's hard work!"
In comparison, Yang Fan said he was bad.
There are so few people to pilot a ship, who dares to doubt it?
Even Li Qi would give so little money to Li Tai's house in a year.
King Wei's face turned pale.
"Young Governor, you mean that the ship hasn't been built yet?" Hua Yanfa and Hua Yanfa looked at each other, and you took a breath of cold air.
It would be really bad practice to bring so few people.
What's more, in order to exchange for the battleship, King Wei spent a full 700,000 taels of gold, almost depleting all the gold accumulated in those years.
In my opinion, with my reputation as Li Tai and the opportunity to ride on Xiaotang’s smallest ship, 5,000 yuan per ticket is expensive!
…
Since arriving at the Little Governor's Mansion, that guy has wandered around everywhere except the front yard, coming in and out at will. He really regards it as his own home.
He originally thought he could cheat Hua Yan, but instead he was taken advantage of by Yang Fan. The King of Wei suddenly became dissatisfied.
